Volz out for Fulham

Fulham will be without defender Moritz Volz for tomorrow’s derby with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge as the German has a groin problem.

Defender Ian Pearce (calf) also misses out and Lawrie Sanchez is still without a number of longer-term absentees.

Midfielders Lee Cook and Jimmy Bullard, defender Philippe Christenval and striker Brian McBride all remain sidelined by knee injuries.

Provisional squad: Niemi, Warner, Keller, Baird, Stefanovic, Bocanegra, Hughes, Davis, Smertin, Murphy, Seol, Davies, Bouazza, Healy, Dempsey, Konchesky, Kamara, John, Kuqi.
